- crossroadsguy 6y agoOnly one branch: master Last updated: 9 months ago Unless I am missing something obvious in GitHub UI.
- epse 6y agoThey don't actually develop on github, but code goes there every now and then. Not ideal, but better than nothing imo
- jasdine817 6y agoAnd who knows if it's actually the software they deploy too.
- growse 6y ago> And who knows if it's actually the software they deploy too. The whole literal point of the protocol is so that you don't have to trust the server, assuming you trust the client and protocol.
- vinay427 6y agoThat's true for the fundamental part of sending and receiving messages, but at least one ancillary feature (contact discovery) requires trusting the server. They do have a setup with an Intel SGX enclave for remote attestation but I'm not knowledgeable on the limitations of this, although I understand that there are some. https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/ https://signal.org/blog/private-contact-discovery/
- growse 6y agoGood point, I was just considering the messaging part. It'd be useful to be able to opt out of contact discovery, as I'm not sure you can do this on the current client.
- bilal4hmed 6y agolook in their forums , few get it running an those who do discover that certain features like reactions etc don't work. So why exactly is happening on the server ??
